Nervous System Project: ( Six days) This project will focus on displaying detailed information on the nervous system.
Grading will be based on written content, diagrams, and time on-task. Written content must provide useful explanations and functions of the various structures.
Copying/Plagiarizing the writing of other people is not allowed. Taking notes and making a “second column” is a sure way to avoid plagiarism.
Creativity is encourage. Use of the website voicethread is encouraged. Making a wiki page is encouraged.
Grading Guide: On-task F – Often off-task and repeatedly has to be directed to work, D – works at least 40 minutes and requires direction six times or less, C – is organized and working in less than five minutes and required direction four times or less, B – Starts working immediately and requires direction twice or less, A – Starts working immediate and is never has to be directed to work Quality D – sloppy, but some what organized C – neat and organized, B – Attractive layout/ Very good, A – Everyone thinks “Wow” or “this is the best” Diagrams D – 7 diagramed items, C – 10 diagramed items, B – 13 diagramed items, A – 16 diagramed items Writing – must e accurate and spelled correctly. D – 300 words, C – 450 word, B – 600 words, A – 800 words
